Briggs & Stratton 040677 Reviews & Ratings
Running Like A Champ For Nearly 5 Years
By Chris in Virginia

Review Posted 01/13/2023 
I have had this unit for almost 5 years now. I bought it here and had my electrician install it. We haven't had any trouble with it at all. We just do an annual oil and air filter change and every other year or so I change the plugs. It just plain works without any drama. Highly recommended. All of the old reviews for this seem to have disappeared so I'm adding this new one.

It arrive late. Looks good, but have yet to hook up. We did not receive an owners manual or warranty. Called and emailed requesting the items, but have had no reply. This is first communication. Cant really write a review yet, but would like to hear from you.
